บท 21: Chapter 21: I'm sleepy
The butler served the dishes in the dining area. Laurice was hesitant at first but the moment she smelled the aroma of the food, she suddenly felt hungry her mouth instantly watered.
Her eyes swelled when she saw the table filled with sumptuous dishes. There was a steaming lamb stew which is according to the butler a traditional irish stew, colcannon which is also an irish dish that pretty much resembles that of a potato mash only with kale and spring onions, and a pub salad with a tangy tarragon dressing.
She gulped.
'Looks yummy! and hearty!'
Sid was pleased to see the look on her face and immediately pulled her a seat on the table. He was feigning his hunger from the beginning but looking at the woman beside him with her bright and shiny eyes he was starting to feel hungry himself.
He just could not decide what is it he was actually craving for.
...
Laurice was surprised with the sudden gesture and thanked him rather shyly.
'Oh! What a gentleman!'
She wasn't aware that another person was in fact more surprised than she was. Butler Han was starting to feel giddy from his young master's actions. He did not expect him to be such a gentleman especially towards the woman. Back at the villa, he has already seen some differences from his young master but thought it was just out of respect and a way to appease his son and that he was only being hospitable to a guest but now that he was seeing another side of his young master, he was starting to realize that the man has really become quite odd but absolutely gentle and caring and may be a little too bold, towards Laurice. Only towards Laurice.
The butler thought the man was indeed interested with this beautiful woman.
'Oh! He had finally found the answer! He will inform the madam right away! Such good news and great luck indeed!
He thought that finally atleast one of the brothers was beginning to show some interest with the opposite sex. He sure hopes to be able to help the madam plan their wedding soon!
...
On a certain part in Dublin, Capital of Ireland.
An old but beautiful woman was doing her early morning yoga routine sneezed three times in a row.
'Who is it? Who's cursing me? Ruining my zen time.'
If only the woman knew about a particular butler's good news, she might forget doing yoga for the rest of her life and book a flight back home immediately.
...
Back at Woodville Homes.
Both Laurice and Sid was eating quite happily on the table while chatting. It seemed Laurice was indeed a food enthusiast and could not help but keep asking him about traditional irish cuisine. Sid might not be a good cook but atleast he knows his roots well so he was able to respond to her queries.
"Can you teach me how to make these?" She asked while pointing at the dishes. "And more?" Her eyes was pleading as she bit her lower lip.
Sid really likes it everytime the woman bite her lips whenever she was getting shy or nervous and excited. Her eyes will always complement those feelings.
It was rather cute and he did not find it annoying at all.
He was even getting curious if she was actually the clingy type when in a relationship.
When he thought of her being in previous relationships already, he was somehow feeling remorseful and envious.
His eyes deepened.
Sid cleared his throat and said, "You can come at the villa if you want to. I'll have the chef arrange a special demo for you."
'So smooth young master, why don't you just let her live at the villa to save us all the trouble. Everybody happy.'
An eavesdropping butler was chanting inwardly.
"I'd love to! Thank you!" Laurice said happily, her eyes were gleaming. She did not realize that her agreeing will not only let her learn how to cook irish in the future but will also make her indebted to the man himself with a high price forever.
...
The two finished off their meal and Laurice insisted on washing off the dishes herself but the servants did not allow her so and just took charge of it and even handled the sorting of the groceries themselves. They just asked her to rest a bit together with the young master at the back porch instead.
Laurice could not refute and could only sigh in submission. She went out of her way to the back porck after she bid her thanks to the servants.
Her lanai was an extension of the living area separated by a floor to ceiling transparent glass sliding door. She went out and saw Sid who was already sitting on the single couch with a book on his hand.
The moment Sid felt her presence, he immediately asked,
"You like graphic novels?"
Laurice noticed that it was her book on his hand that he was skimming.
"Yes, very much. I actually love reading fiction in general better than watching films." She said. Laurice felt there was no harm on telling him about her hobbies and such.
Sid: "Hmm. I see. You also write, don't you?"
Laurice lightly chuckled.
Laurice: "What made say so?"
Sid: "Just a guess. Well?"
Sid looked straight to her eyes. Her heart seemed to have missed a beat when she saw those electrifying deep cognac brown eyes. She remained rooted to the ground.
Laurice let out a breath out of her chest and averted his gaze before replying, "I do. I'm into prose and poetry. I do write novels when i'm in the mood. And my favorite so far is actually writing children's stories with graphic arts."
Sid: "You can also draw?" Sid knows the woman was already extremely talented and hearing everything that she was fond of and interested about, was making his heart even more proud of her.
Laurice was stunned for a second and replied with a 'Hmm'.
She did not say anything else afterwards.
She just remained standing there. She seems so near and yet so far from him it was making his heart swell.
Sid continued to blatantly look at the woman while she stare blankly in space. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes that's making his heart ache. He hated seeing her like that.
He rose from his seat and went up to her.
...
Laurice did not notice that Sid was already right next to her and did not know how long he was standing there for. She just felt a sudden weight on her shoulders.
She tilted her head to the side and saw that the man was actually leaning on her shoulder. Her eyes flew wide-opened. Her heart started pounding. His face was so close to hers she could almost hear his even breathing. She was caught momentarily by his stunning features and could not help but stare at it.
The man's eyes were shut.
'She thanked the heavens for that else she might not have the guts to scrutinize the godly man before her.'
His lashes were long, His brows were dark and full and arched rather handsomely. His straight greek nose and his full and moist lips are so attractive as if carefully sculpted to complement his gorgeous face. And his hair, his short hair ... his soft-raven black hair which was surprisingly smooth as it gently brushes along her nape was giving her tingling sensations down to her feet. Her toes curl.
" ... !!! "
The man was sinfully sexy.
'If only she could touch his face.' She thought while unconsciously lifting her free hand towards the man's seemingly sleeping face only to stop mid-air. She retrieved the hand and gently pat her chest.
'What am i doing?! Calm down heart!'
She was having difficulty on what she should do at the moment as her heart rate increases until the man leaning on her finally spoke, "Im sleepy."
Laurice: " ... "
He said he was sleepy?!
'What the he*l is she supposed to do?!'
...
Inside the living area, a certain butler was also shocked by what he saw. His jaw dropped.
Butler Han: " ... "
